Subject: ATTN: Karen -- all about part of Hector Lujan's Saturday afternoon

I was walking home yesterday minding my own<br>bidness when I saw the back of a man in shirt<br>and tie and jacket who looked like Hector Lujan.<br><br>Hector is always a treat: you will remember him<br>from Dave Moriaty's last known party, he's the<br>one who sat on the cooler on the deck and it<br>broke. He also read the svelte little girl's<br>palm explaining to her that she had body wisdom<br>quite unknown to him. Right! She was fascinated <br>probably never having heard that particular line<br>before. That Hector. Hector also has a 23' Ranger <br>sailboat at the Austin Yacht Club which engages <br>a large part of his ideation. I originally met <br>Hector through the UT Sail Club 20+ years ago.<br><br>Anyhoo, it WAS Hector and he was staring up <br>Lavaca St to watch for the #12 bus while a<br>man he had found at the busstop tried to <br>open the door of his older Suburban which<br>he, Hector, had locked his keys in with a<br>wire coathanger that Hector had procured<br>from somewhere.<br><br>I went and got the project some more tools,<br>a selection of wire hangers, a longnosed <br>pliers, a disreputable screwdriver and the <br>blade from a hacksaw which is what a jimmy <br>is.<br><br>Various folks were roped into the dooropening<br>project until finally a gent came along who<br>knew how to work the jimmy and opened the <br>door. I was able to keep a handsome redhaired<br>fellow from walking away with the longnosed<br>plier. The guy who knew how to jimmy had,<br>surprisingly, or perhaps not that surprisingly, <br>a stainless steel folding all purpose gizmo <br>which coulda got him a year or so in jail if <br>he had a record.  <br><br>I turned down Hector's kind offer to take me<br>sailing although I dearly wanted to go sailing.<br>However for my next circumnavigation I do NOT<br>plan to take Hector. Too much incident in<br>this talented man's waking hours for me. And<br>drink! I was impressed 20 years ago when after<br>taking him sailing in my sailboat, he parked<br>across the street from our little old rent<br>house on W.9th because he still had a full<br>six-pack that needed drinking. What a guy!<br><br>Mike<br><br>
